Hi. I lost weight previously using the site, but have gained a lot of weight from stress and emotional eating. I am here to tackle these challenges and learn new and productive ways to deal with my emotions. Changing my lifestyle is key. After seeing a few food documentaries, I am focused on an organic, green foods based diet. I want to support local farms when I can, and be conscious about where my food originates. I am not giving anything up, but my goal is to lead a largely vegan diet, raw whenever possible. I like to think of myself as Almost Vegan. :-)

My Goals:
My long-term goal is to get back in shape, feel healthy, feel strong, and feel proud! My goal is to no longer need medication to deal with my clinical depression, but to use exercise, natural foods, and vitamins to regulate my condition.

My Program:
Almost vegan and organic when I can. Adding back exercise starting with Physique 57 2x per week and a run in Central Park 2x per week.

Personal Information:
I have lived in NYC for 16 years, and I really love the city. I was born and raised in New Orleans, so I will always be a good Creole girl at heart. :-)

Other Information:
My favorite movie of all time is Auntie Mame. Best quote:
